Ladies, let’s be honest with ourselves. We aren’t the easiest to shop for, am I right? We may make lists and distribute them to all essential personnel, but on Christmas morning, we always look forward to some sort of surprise. An extra special something that didn’t make it on our wish list. Something to show that your gift-giver went above and beyond. That he or she knows you well enough to pick out that special something that you didn’t even know you wanted. (Fellas, are you panicking yet? Keep your shirt on.) To help you out in this department, I put together a gift guide for her. From the hostess to the techie, you’ll be covered with this. . .

TWO – Give her the gift of perfect wavy curls with this styling wand. It comes with interchangeable barrels, so she can easily change up the intensity of curls. I love love love this brand of hair styling tools. I own the blow dryer and flat iron, and I’m confident the curling wand is equally amazing. Plus, it comes is this super chic white and rose gold. You can’t go wrong.

THREE – This pom key fob has been added to my online shopping cart at least a dozen times, only to be left out in the cold as I closed the window without purchasing. It is a little pricey for a key chain, but it can also be added to any handbag for a fun little flair. Besides, BaubleBar keeps offering some amazing promos during the holiday season. Keep an eye out! (Psst – if you don’t want to take the plunge on this keychain, I can show you how to DIY a great tassel keychain over here!)

FOUR – I have recently been on the hunt for some great slippers, and this adorable pair totally fits the bill. She’ll probably never pay a high price tag for her own slippers, but what a fun way to splurge on a little extra luxury for her! She’ll be totally surprised, and I guarantee she’ll wear them every day. (You can’t even say that about a great pair of heels!)

FIVE – How chic is this geometric picture frame? I love that you can add it to any tabletop, desk, or nightstand, and it’s beautiful from all angles! You can’t argue with this pricepoint either. At under $15, it’s so affordable, and will look great with a photo of you and her already printed out and placed inside.

SIX – There’s nothing quite like a personalized gift. It shows that you didn’t just pick up any old thing from a clearance bin and slap a bow on it.This initial alpha cuff will go great on its own or mixed into her existing arm party. Scoop one up with her initial, and gift it to her in the monogrammed jewelry box! Double brownie points 😉

SEVEN – Are you shopping for an avid reader? Does she like to display books in the living room? Consider surprising her with this set of geode agate bookends to dress up her book collection. They instantly add interest to a display, and the price is amazing at only $10!

EIGHT – I bet she can’t get through the day without her phone, whether she’s fielding calls, snapping photos, or replying to emails. Make sure she stays at 100% with this cute portable cellphone charger.

So whether you’re shopping for your wife, girlfriend, or bestie, there’s still plenty of time to scoop up one of these great gifts for her. She’ll be touched by the gesture, and she’ll love that you surprised her with a little something extra that wasn’t on her list.
